Ingredients
Scale
Meatballs
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Gravy
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 packet brown gravy mix
- 2 cups beef broth
Instructions
- Prepare the meatball mixture: In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, milk, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Shape the meatballs: Roll the mixture into meatballs approximately 1.5 inches in diameter, ensuring they are uniform in size for even cooking.
- Brown the meatballs: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs and brown them on all sides, which will take about 5-7 minutes. This step develops flavor and seals in juices.
- Remove meatballs: Take the browned meatballs out of the skillet and set them aside, leaving the flavorful cooking juices in the pan.
- Prepare the gravy: In the same skillet, add the brown gravy mix and beef broth. Stir well to combine, scraping the bottom of the skillet to release any browned bits which add depth of flavor.
- Simmer the meatballs in gravy: Return the meatballs to the skillet and let them simmer in the gravy for 20-25 minutes. This ensures the meatballs are fully cooked and the gravy thickens beautifully.
- Serve: Spoon the meatballs along with the rich brown gravy over them onto plates. Enjoy this hearty classic dish hot, perfect with mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables.
Notes
- For best results, use fresh ground beef with about 15-20% fat for juicy meatballs.
- You can substitute the brown gravy mix with homemade gravy if desired.
- Make sure to brown the meatballs properly to lock in flavor before simmering.
- Leftover Salisbury steak meatballs can be refrigerated for 3-4 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
- Serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles for a complete meal.
